Sri Lanka legendary spinner Rangana Herath is likely to miss the 3rd Test due to an injury, he sustained to his hand during yesterday’s practice session. In this scenario, fast bowler Suranga Lakmal to captain the side if Chandimal loses his appeal.
Herath split his web between right hand’s 4th and 5th finger during a practice session held ahead of the third test. He didn’t play second match as well, as team management thought to preserve him for the third test.
Chandimal has appealed against match referee Javagal Srinath’s findings that saw him suspended for one Test after being found guilty of changing the condition of the ball in the second Test at Gros Islet. In this scenario, his participation in the match is still not clear, as the hearing on his appeal will take place on today.
If Chandimal also miss the test, Fast bowler Suranga Lakmal will take over to lead the side. West Indies leads the three match series 1-0.
